2019 DCN AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING & MARITIME INDUSTRY AWARDS Dr Rochelle Macdonald (centre) with Minister Melissa Horne (right) and Sheridan Jones of LINX CCG. WOMEN IN SHIPPING & MARITIME LOGISTICS AWARD WINNER DR ROCHELLE MACDONALD Dr Rochelle Macdonald is an accomplished strategy and development executive with extensive experience in the resources, energy and transport industries. Rochelle was appointed CEO of Mid West Ports Authority in 2018, having previously led the strategic planning and organisational change of some of Australia’s leading ports. Rochelle is the former director of strategy and development at Dampier Port Authority. She was responsible for assembling and directing a professional team focused on the development of the Port of Dampier, Port of Ashburton, Port of Anketell and Port of Cape Preston East, and success of infrastructure projects, including Wheatstone and Pluto. Rochelle’s journey eventually took her east where she accepted the position of general manager engineering and development at North Queensland Bulk Ports, going on to become acting CEO. After almost three years in Queensland, Rochelle applied for the position of CEO at MWPA, securing the role out of more than 200 applicants. As the fourth female port CEO in Australian history, Rochelle is also a strong advocate for gender equality in the maritime workplace. Rochelle said her executive team at MWPA is a perfect example of effective promotion of workplace gender diversity. “I don’t know of any other port in Australia that has that gender diversity on MWPA executive, with three women and two men” she says. “At MWPA, women can do anything. If they want to train as an engineer, sparky, a boilermaker, it’s open. It’s all about the best person for the job.” Using her extensive knowledge of ports spanning almost two decades, within her first month at MWPA Rochelle had already embarked on a strategy reset for the organisation. This includes the release of the draft Geraldton Port Master Plan – mapping the development and infrastructure requirements of Geraldton Port to accommodate potentially significant trade growth over the next 30 years.
